traditionally manufacture (制造) things? they usually start with a sheet of metal, wood or other material and cut, drill (钻) and shave it to create a desired shape. sometimes, they use a mold (模具) made of metal or sand, pour liquid plastic or metal into it and let it cool to create a solid part. now, a completely different method is gaining popularity. on oct. 9, 2013, london science museum kicked off its new exhibition, 3-d printing the future, with over 600 3-d printed objects on display, including space probes (探测器), toy dolls and even human organs basically any product you can think of, reported live science. you might find it hard to believe that an object can actually be “printed out” like a picture. but it is not that hard to understand how it works. just as a traditional printer sprays (喷洒) ink onto paper line by line, modern 3-d printers spread material onto a surface layer by layer, from the bottom to the top, gradually building up a shape. instead of ink, the materials the 3-d printer uses are mainly plastic, resin (树脂) and certain metals. the thinner each layer is from a millimeter to less than the width of a hair the smoother and finer the object will be. and objects always come out in one piece, sparing you the trouble of putting different parts together afterward. for example, 10 years ago a desktop 3-d printer might have cost 20,000 (200,000 yuan), while now it costs only about 1,000, according to the bbc. in fact, 3-d printers have been around for some time, but until recently they hadnt been very popular since few people could afford them. last year, though, saw a big decrease in the price of 3-d printers. however, as 3-d printing technology becomes more commonplace, it may trigger certain problems. one of them is piracy (盗版). “once you can download a coffee maker, or print out a new set of kitchen utensils (餐具) on your personal 3-d printer, who will visit a retail (零售的) store again?” an expert on 3-d printing told forbes news. even more frightening, the worlds first 3-d printed gun was successfully fired in the us in may of this year, which means that 3-d printing could potentially give more people access to weapons.51. according to the article, in the future, 3-d printing technology will probably _.a. change the way people make products b. be applied as widely in our daily lives as computers c. forbid many countries to make purchases of weaponsd. take the place of normal printers and save lots of energy52. what was the big event that happened in the 3-d printing industry last year?a. over 600 3-d printed objects were on display in an exhibition.b. 3-d printing technology came to be used in various fields.c. the worlds first 3-d printed gun was successfully made.d. the 3-d printer became more affordable for consumers.53. what is the authors attitude toward 3-d printing technology?a. amused. b. objective.c. supportive. d. negative.bchinas government has been trying all measures to reduce pollution in the past few years. now people can enjoy a fresh environment everywhere. the following two graphs are adopted from the column of “city information” on the webpage of beijing review.graph 1 olympic cities

she was going to spend the afternoon at her friend jesses house. i didnt doubt it until i called jesses number to remind liz that it was her turn to walk the dog, and jesses mom picked up the phone and said, “i thought she and jesse were planning to be at your house.” it turned out that the two of them had decided to hang out at a coffee shop instead. when i questioned my daughter, she replied coldly, “whats the big deal? youre such a psycho(精神变态者).”can you say it is right or wrong for them to behave like that? their changeable personalities leave you feeling angry and guilty at the same time. in fact, if your kids dont annoy you from time to time, youre not doing your job.“theres nothing wrong about being angry with your child,” says laurence steinberg, ph.d., author of the 10 basic principles of good parenting. “conflict is natural when your innocent, lovely child turns into an adolescent who can hardly tolerate (忍受) you. its part of the process of separation.” kids insisted on their individuality with behavior to purposely drive you crazy. its their way of saying, “i am my own person” - but doing it in a context thats safe and that has clear limits.so when your little darling changes into a silent person who still expects meals, clothing, and transportation, dont panic. heres how to handle some common problems without losing your temper or your self-respect.58. it can be learned from the first paragraph that _.a. jesses mother told a lie b. the writer was too sensitivec. liz told a lie to her mother d. the writers daughter stayed at jesses house59. by saying “in fact, if your kids dont annoy you from time to time, youre not doing your job”, the writer probably means that _.a. when you are doing a job, your kids shouldnt annoy youb. parents should be responsible for childrens bad behaviorc. parents shouldnt tolerate their childrens bad behaviord. its understandable for kids to annoy their parents60. whats the main idea of the third paragraph? a. its right for parents to be angry with their children.b. its allowed for children to do anything as they like.c. its bad behavior for children to drive their parents angry.d. its normal for adolescents to go against the wishes of their parents sometimes.61. what would the writer state in the following paragraphs?a. how to be good parents. b. how to be good children.c. rules for children to follow. d. how to deal with adolescents common problems properly.dit was saturday when the entire summer world was bright and fresh. tom looked at the fence, which was long and high, feeling all enthusiasm leaving him. he dipped his brush into the whitewash before moving it along the top board of the fence. he knew other boys would arrive soon with all minds of interesting plans for this day. as walking past him, they would tease him for having to work on a beautiful saturdaywhich burnt him like fire. he, putting his hands into his pockets and taking out all he owned with the expectation of letting someone paint, found nothing that could buy half an hour of freedom. at this dark and hopeless moment, a wonderful idea occurred to him, pouring a great bright light into his mind. he took up his brush and continued to work pleasantly with calm and quietness.presently, ben rogers came in sightmunching an apple and making joyful noises like the sound of a riverboat as he walked along. tom went on whitewashing, paying no attention to the steamboat. “hello!” ben said, “im going swimming, but you cant go, can you?”no answer. tom moved his brush gently along the fence and surveyed the result. ben came nearer. toms mouth watered for bens apple while he kept painting the fence.ben said, “thats a lot of work, isnt it?”tom turned suddenly saying “here you are! ben! i didnt notice you.” “im going swimming,” ben said. “dont you wish you could go? or would you rather work?” tom said, “work? what do you mean work?”“isnt that work?” tom continued painting and answered carelessly, “maybe it is, and maybe it isnt. all i know is it suits tom sawyer.”“do you mean that you enjoy it?”“i dont see why i oughtnt to enjoy it.”“does a boy have a chance to paint a fence frequently” said tom.ben
